EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read

Got `EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read` upon `npx patch-package some-package-name`.

When making a patch, patch-package create a folder in `/tmp` with the package.json, and ran my package manager (`yarn`) from that directory.
But yarn will try to traverse all the folders up and search for any `package.json` file. In my case, for some reason, I had a `package.json` file in my root folder, that I was happy to delete and solve the issue above. As far as I know, you can't specify a "root folder" with yarn, to prevent it to search parent directories. If I had `npm` as my default package manager, this would have not failed.

In most cases you may have both. Would it be worth to attempt with `yarn` first, and fallback with `npm` in case of failure? Or maybe just provide a better error message. Right now it's somehow cryptic.
